Congratulations! At least this way you won't be over eating on the wrong foods on Valentine's Day.

Best wishes

Wow...no turning back now! I just checked into the hospital. I live in Europe, so they keep you in the hospital longer than the US.

It's funny because I have to ask everyone "speak English?" but most people are pretty nice. This is my first time in a hospital here, so that's the only reason I'm a little nervous. But I know that God is with me.

My girlfriend just left so I thought I'd read a few posts. She had her band done here over a year ago, so it's good to have someone in your corner who has walked the road before you.

I downloaded new books on my kindle...so I guess I'll get to reading.

IF I don't get back on here--Happy Valentine's Day to my fellow bandsters! What a wonderful gift to our lives!

Please join the "February 2013 Bandsters" group forum. (on the main forum page--go down to LBT Social forums, then look for the name--towards the bottom) We've become a great family there!

Praying for everyone on our new journey! :wub:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
